    First DTC scan

    Just bought an Ancel scanner and hooked it up to my M3 (report attached). Nothing too bad/surprising, am hoping driving the car a bit will help clear some of these. Anyone have experience with them?

    The scanner does show error codes it cannot decipher, I would recommend that you pick up an older windows laptop and use BMW Scanner and INPA for scanning for codes. Its the most common scanning software for the E46 and will scan specific BMW codes.
    You will also need 2 ODB cables which are relatively cheap. BMW Scanner and INPA use different types of ODB cables.

    These 2 guides on E46fanatics are great to get it setup.
